As we already know, 2017 is one of the busiest years for art on record. But if you’re not partaking in the traditional art tour of Europe (the Biennale in Venice, Documenta in Kassel and Athens, and Skulptur Projekte Münster), there’s plenty of other noteworthy exhibitions to see across the globe.

The Hermitage is located at Dvortsovaya Naberezhnaya (Embankment) 34 in St. Petersburg, and is open Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, 10:30 a.m.–5 p.m.; Wednesday and Friday, 10:30 a.m.–9 p.m. General admission is 700 rubles ($12).

2. “Carolee Schneemann: Kinetic Painting” at the MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt am Main, Sabatini Building, May 31–September 24, 2017
Fresh off her receipt of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 2017 Venice Biennale, pioneering performance artist Carolee Schneemann (1939–) gets her due at an exhibition at Frankfurt’s MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst. Her unprecedented use of the female body in her work allowed Schneemann to eschew traditional gender roles, embrace sexuality, and generally serve as a trailblazer for the generations of women artists who would follow in her footsteps. (If you’re stuck stateside this summer, note that it’s also heading to New York’s MoMA PS1 this fall.)

The MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst is located at Domstraße 10 60311 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and is open Tuesday–Sunday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.; and Wednesday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m. General admission is €16 ($18).

3. “Lee Lozano: Pulling Out the Stops” at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Sabatini Building, May 31–September 25, 2017
American conceptual artist Lee Lozano (1930–1999) had a brief but intensely rigorous career before abruptly ceasing her artistic practice with her Drop Out Piece (1972), which saw her completely extricate herself from the art world, refusing to participate in the system. The Reina Sofía’s exhibition includes Lozano’s erotic drawings, more minimal energy paintings, and her mathematically charged “Wave Series,” exploring electromagnetic waves.

The Reina Sofía is located at Calle de Santa Isabel, 52, Madrid, and is open Monday and Wednesday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m. General admission is €10 ($11).

4. “Raphael: The Drawings” at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology at the University of Oxford, June 1–September 3, 2017
The Ashmolean deploys its impressive collection of Raphael (1483–1520) drawings, bolstered by loans from the likes of the Louvre in Paris and the Uffizi in Florence, in this exhibition exploring the extraordinary influence of an artist who died at just 37 years old. Because these fragile drawings are extremely sensitive to light, they are rarely on public view. If that’s not incentive enough, the show is being touted as the biggest exhibition of Raphael drawings since 1983.

The Ashmolean is located at Beaumont Street, Oxford, and is open Tuesday–Sunday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. General admission is £12 ($15.50).

6. “The Polaroid Project: At the Intersection of Art and Technology” at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, June 3–September 3, 2017
Kicking off an internationally traveling exhibition, Amon Carter Museum will host “The Polaroid Project,” a survey of the revolutionary technology that changed not only the medium, but also the cultural understanding of pictures and picture-taking. The ubiquity of Polaroid—the company, and the movement it began in 1943, is documented in this exhibition as an enduring landmark of science and art.

The Amon Carter Museum of American Art is located at 3501 Camp Bowie Blvd, Fort Worth, Texas, and is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday 10 a.m.–5 p.m.; Thursday 10 a.m.–8 p.m.; and Sunday 12 p.m.–5 p.m. Admission is free.

Curators Claire Garnier, Laurent Le Bon, and Florence Ostende have found a remarkably rich vein to mine in studying a presentation style invented by Louis Daguerre and now best known for its use in natural history museums.

Palais de Tokyo is located at 13 Avenue du President Wilson, 75116 Paris, and is open everyday except Tuesday, 12 p.m.–12 a.m. General admission is €12 ($13).

The Brandywine River Museum of Art is located at 1 Hoffman’s Mill Road, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and is open daily, 9:30 a.m.–5 p.m. General admission is $18.

14. “Happy Birthday, Mr. Hockney” at the Getty Center, June 27–November 26, 2017
The Tate Britain’s big birthday bash for David Hockney (1937–) is over, but the Getty has a show that will actually be open when the artist celebrates his 80th on July 9. The museum is focusing on his wide-ranging self portraits, as well as Hockney’s well-known photo collages—your chance to finally see Pearblossom Hwy., 11–18th April 1986, #2, part of the Getty collection, in person—and composite Polaroids.

If you missed Ai Weiwei’s (1957–) 2014 exhibition at the former Alcatraz prison in San Francisco, you can catch his installation Trace, which immortalizes 176 social and political activists in murals made of thousands of LEGO pieces, at the Hirshhorn. The museum’s third floor Outer Ring galleries will also feature a new piece called The Plain Version of the Animal That Looks Like a Llama but Is Really an Alpaca, which incorporates surveillance cameras, handcuffs, and the Twitter bird into a seemingly decorative 360-degree wallpaper design.

The Hirshhorn is located at National Mall at the corner of 7th Street SW and Independence Avenue and is open 10 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Admission is free.

The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea is located at 30 Samcheong-ro, Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.; and Wednesday and Saturday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m. General admission is 4,000 KRW ($3.50).

In January, the Legion of Honor marked the 100th anniversary of the death of renowned sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) with the opening of “The Centenary Installation.” In conjunction with that exhibition, the museum has invited contemporary sculptor Sarah Lucas (1962–), in her first major US show, to counterbalance Rodin’s tendency to objectify and eroticize the female body with her own unabashedly sexual works, which confront the notion of an idealizing male gaze.

The Legion of Honor is located at Lincoln Park, 100 34th Avenue, San Francisco, and is open Tuesday–Sunday, 9:30 a.m.–5:15 p.m. General admission is $15.

18. “The Jim Henson Exhibition” at the Museum of the Moving Image, opening July 22, 2017
Following the Museum of the Moving Image’s leg of the the hit traveling Jim Henson (1936–1990) exhibition in 2011, which offered a fascinating peek into the fertile imagination of the creator of the Muppets, Henson’s family made a major donation to the New York museum of over 500 objects from his archives. A permanent exhibition was in the works for four years, and will finally open its doors following a successful Kickstarter campaign this spring that raised over $144,000. Among the highlights will be the chance to see 47 of the puppets for Henson’s iconic characters in person, including Big Bird, Elmo, Kermit and Piggy, the Swedish Chef, and characters from Fraggle Rock and The Dark Crystal.

The Museum of the Moving Image is located at 36-01 35 Ave, Astoria, Queens, and is open Wednesday–Thursday, 10:30 a.m.–2 p.m.; Friday, 10:30 a.m.–8 p.m.; and Saturday–Sunday, 11:30 a.m.–7 p.m. General admission is $15.

19. “Dana Schutz” at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, July 26–November 26, 2017Dana Schutz (1976–) was embroiled in controversy earlier this year, over the inclusion of her painting of murdered African American teenager Emmett Till in the Whitney Biennial. Here is an inquiry into the artist’s robust painting practice. This exhibition of the artist’s recent work focuses on her large-scale depictions of abstracted narratives that are bursting with color and expression.

The ICA is located at 25 Harbor Shore Drive, Boston, MA 02210 and is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m. General admission is $15.
